Carry On Luggage Stroller
PRODUCT FEATURES
Q: Does the TernX come preassembled?
A: Yes, it arrives fully preassembled. Simply unbox, unfold, and you're ready to roll.
Q: What is the suitcase stroller made from?
A: The luggage shell is crafted from recycled German polycarbonate. The stroller frame is made from aerospace aluminum.
Q: How heavy is the luggage stroller?
A: Approx. 17 lbs (7.8 kg) ± 2.5% variance (excluding canopy). Dimensions are 22” x 14" x 9" (55cm x 36cm x 23cm).
Q: What is the luggage capacity?
A: 18 L (4.8 gal) , plus a convenient under-seat basket with a 4.5 lbs (2 kg) capacity.
Q: Can I access the luggage in stroller mode?
A: Yes, the compartment is easily and always accessible in both luggage (folded) and stroller (unfolded) mode.
Q: Does the luggage work like a spinner or rollerboard?
A: It functions as a 2-wheeled suitcase you pull behind, not a 4-wheeled spinner. This design allows the wheels to be recessed for a better overhead bin fit. Attempting to roll the luggage while it is standing upright or on its stopper side can put undue stress on the stand and may cause permanent damage.
Q: Can I adjust the luggage telescopic handle height?
A: Yes, the handle adjusts to three settings: 105 cm, 114 cm, and 123 cm.
Q: Do I need to unpack the luggage before folding or unfolding the stroller?
A: No, you don't have to unpack it. The integrated luggage is designed not to interfere with the folding/unfolding mechanism.
Q: Is this an one second fold stroller?
A: No, we're not a one-second fold stroller and that's precisely the point. All strollers are not created equal, nor should they be. While we understand we might not be for everyone, it may just be for you. Our focus is on safety, stability, and convenience. So, while our unfolding might take seconds instead of "one second", it's all for good reason. We're all about offering a one of a kind solution that combines the best of both worlds – a suitcase and stroller in one!
Q: What is the huroo™ system?
A: Our huroo™ system is about bringing ultimate convenience to our products through purposeful design, prioritizing your comfort, convenience, and safety.
SAFETY & USE
Q: What age is the stroller suitable for?
A: From 6 months (around the age when the child can hold their head up independently) up to a 4-year-old toddler.
Q: What is the max weight for a child?
A: The TernX Carry On Luggage Stroller is certified to international standards for a child weighing up to 48.5 lbs (22 kg).
Q: Does the stroller use a 5-point harness?
A: Yes, it is equipped with a premium, adjustable 5-point safety harness.

A: 100% yes. It holds certifications including ASTM F833-21, EN1888-2:2018+A1:2022, AS 2088:2022+A1:2024 and AS/NZS 2088:2013 (all 22kg/48.5lbs).
Q: What is the correct way to pull the TernX Luggage Stroller to prevent damage?
A: The TernX luggage stroller is designed to be used as a 2-wheeled rollerboard, meaning you should pull it behind you at an angle using the telescopic handle. It is not designed to be rolled beside you vertically like a 4-wheeled spinner. Attempting to roll the luggage while it is standing upright or on its stopper side can put undue stress on the stand and may cause permanent damage.
Q: How do I convert the luggage from stroller mode to luggage mode (and vice versa)?
A: The transition is simple and takes seconds. Check out our video HERE.
Q: Is the stroller seat removable for cleaning?
A: The stroller frame and seat are permanently integrated for safety. However, the soft goods (textiles) are removable for cleaning. Please follow the care label instructions for best results.
Q: Are there any available accessories for the TernX?
A: We do not currently offer accessories. However, we know how important these items are for travel and are actively designing and developing a line of accessories specifically for our travel stroller. Stay tuned to our Facebook group for announcements on when these will be released!
TRAVEL & COMPATIBILITY
Q: Is the TernX stroller only for plane travel?
A: Not at all! It's perfect for everyday travel, car, train, or navigating busy streets. Compact, versatile and built for life on the go.
Q: Can I take the TernX on a plane?
A: Yes! It's designed to fit in standard airline overhead bins and complies with carry-on size requirements for most major airlines. That said, carry-on size regulations can vary between airlines, so we always recommend confirming the specific requirements with you airline before you travel.
Q: Will airlines see this as a cabin luggage or stroller?
A: Most airlines will classify the TernX as a stroller due to its design and functionality, allowing you to bring it on board without extra fees. You maybe need to fold it when you reach with aircraft door or check it at the gate if space is limited. Each airline has its own requirements so it's best to check with your specific airline before traveling to ensure compliance.
Q: What size stroller can I take on a plane?
To the best of our knowledge, the TernX Carry On complies with the following Top 91 airlines (more to come!). You can check them our HERE. Again, please verify with your specific airline's carry-on regulations before your journey.
Q: Do travel strollers count as carry-on?
A: Strollers are typically considered "special items" and often don’t count toward your carry-on luggage. The TernX is designed to fit carry-on dimensions, helping you avoid gate-checking.
Q: Is the TernX an airline approved stroller?
A: TernX Carry On Luggage Stroller is airline friendly and designed to meet carry-on size guidelines set by International Air Transport Association (IATA), Transportation Security Administration (TSA ) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
A common misconception is that baby strollers can be officially “Approved”, either “IATA approved,” “TSA approved,” or “FAA approved.” It’s important to clarify that no such universal certification exists from these aviation authorities for strollers as standalone consumer products. While these organizations are critical to maintaining the safety and security of air travel, they do not certify or regulate the design or manufacture of strollers for general airline use. Please note, using the word "approved" typically signify that a stroller meets common airline carry on dimensions or is designed for ease of screening, rather than indicating a formal certification by a governing body.
Q: Does the stroller fit in the plane aisle?
A: The TernX travel stroller is specifically designed to meet standard carry-on size requirements and is compact enough to fit down the aisle on most airlines. However, airline regulations can vary, so we always recommend checking with your carrier prior to travel for any specific guidelines or restrictions related to strollers.
Q: Can it be checked-in the aircraft cargo?
A: We recommend against checking it in as it's designed for carry-on, and mishandling may cause damage.

Q: How to care for the luggage stroller?
A: Please follow these additional steps to properly care for your luggage stroller:
- Ensure the luggage and frame are kept clean and dry. If the stroller becomes dirty or wet, dry it promptly (we recommend using a microfiber cloth). Avoid letting dirt, sand, or dust accumulate, and clean off any debris as soon as possible to maintain full functionality. Neglecting to do so may result in the product malfunctioning either partially or fully.
- To clean the frame, use a damp microfiber cloth with warm water. For a deeper clean, you can add a mild soap solution. Always leave the luggage stroller open to air out and dry completely before storing it.
- Occasionally, you might notice slight oil marks on the telescopic handle. This is completely normal and comes from the lubricant applied to the joints during manufacturing. To clean it, use a damp microfiber cloth with warm water.
- If the soft goods become dirty, hand wash them and hang them to dry, following the care label instructions for best results. Keep in mind that prolonged sun exposure may cause the materials and textiles to fade.
- Regularly check the wheels for wear and clean them of dirt, ensuring no debris is stuck. To keep the brake pedal operating smoothly, apply silicone spray lubricant regularly and protect it from dirt and liquids.
Q: Are spare parts available for purchase?
A: Yes, we currently offer replacements for high-wear parts like the wheels, soft-goods and canopy etc. Contact hello@tern-x.com for availability and pricing.
Q: Has TernX received any awards or recognition?
A: Yes! TernX has won multiple prestigious international design awards, including being named one of TIME's Best Inventions, and was featured on Shark Tank.
Q: Will tariffs affect TernX product prices?
A: To the best of our ability, TernX will not be increasing prices despite changes in global trade policies.
Q: Why the premium price tag?
A: Innovation and quality often come with a price, and we understand we are not for everyone. We could have made it less expensive, but then it would be just another travel stroller.
TernX was built to solve real challenges for modern families on the move. With 7 international design and innovation awards, that kind of innovation simply can’t be compared to lower cost alternatives, because se we’re not like them.
Hopefully one day we'll be able to order materials in enough quantity to bring the cost down. That said, the TernX Carry On will never be as inexpensive as ordinary strollers because there's nothing ordinary about it.
